table.View

Discussion
The table view uses a fixed font style for section header titles. If you want a different font style, return a custom view (for example, a UILabel object) in the delegate method table instead.
If you do not implement this method or the table method, the table does not display headers for sections. If you implement both methods, the table method takes priority.
